Fraternity Track Record

The fraternity sponsoring the party on West Walnut where a shooting took place over the weekend doesn't have a real good track record regarding parties. Back in January of 2006, the same fraternity, Iota Phi Theta, hosted a fund raising party at the now shuttered Fred's Dance Barn that ended with the still unsolved shooting death of Larry Williams. The negative publicity surrounding the shooting was a major factor in the closing of Fred's later that year.
